BACKGROUND
All countries in the Neighbourhood East (NE) region face similar economic, social and geopolitical challenges. These challenges extend and affect employment, the labour market, and the VET education sectors. As highlighted by various documents, especially those from the ETF, concerted efforts are needed to address these issues.
Cedefop underlined how VET studies are crucial to achieving social and economic objectives and adapting societal needs. VET studies are essential to promote digital and environmental transitions:
stimulating and modernising VET studies would trigger innovation and economic growth, boosting human capital development and societal transition to increase countries’ resilience in facing the current crisis.
To enable VET studies potential, the didactic offer must be in line with the demands of the labour market so that students, once they complete their studies, can enter the labour market more easily.
